About: Always had dogs in my life! Enjoy their company and personalities. My pooch would love to have a walking buddy but if your baby is not comfortable around other dogs, I have no issue spending quality time with them! Looking to exercise with new friends! I work full time but having scheduled walks would help motivate me to get my day started early. Can’t wait to meet some new friends! My pooch has many toys that remain untouched!… she has bully sticks, dental chews and the fat I trim from chuck roast gets broiled for crispy guilty snacks. She gets strawberries, blueberries and sardines for more extra treats. Yeah, you could say spoiled…
About: Meet Your Pet Sitters – Dave & Sylvia 🐾 Hi there! I'm Dave, and together with my wife Sylvia, we offer a loving, safe, and fun home-away-from-home for your fur babies. Our story actually began with our shared love for dogs—so when we say we treat every pup like family, we mean it from the heart. I've been boarding dogs for years and have had the joy of caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. After a short break, I'm back and ready to open our home again to your beloved pets! Whether it's a weekend stay or a longer visit, you can trust that your dog will be cared for like one of our own—with lots of love, playtime, cuddles, and updates for you, too. Our home is calm, dog-friendly, and filled with positive energy (and a few extra treats). We know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away, and that's exactly what we aim to give you—with every tail wag and happy snooze. Let us be your dog's second family. We can't wait to welcome them in! 🐶❤️ My schedule is usually pretty flexible. I work remote from home and if I do need to leave.I have help from my mother and step dad. your dog's safety and well-being are our top priority. Our trusted, experienced caregivers provide a secure and loving environment, ensuring peace of mind while you're away."
“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”
“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”
About: I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to provide patient, individualized care. I was first exposed to animals through personal experience, having had my fair share of dogs, cats, and even birds– and have provided plenty of care to the pets of personal friends and family friends. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, including senior pets who may need a calmer environment, extra patience, or medication reminders. I also understand the importance of communication and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. El cuidado de mascotas encaja muy bien en mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me organizo para cumplir con los horarios de alimentación, paseos, juegos y visitas según las necesidades de cada mascota. Soy flexible y comprometida, y me aseguro de brindar atención constante y de calidad durante cada visita o servicio. Me tomo muy en serio la seguridad y el bienestar de las mascotas. Sigo cuidadosamente las instrucciones del dueño, incluyendo rutinas, alimentación y cualquier indicación especial. Mantengo los espacios limpios, ordenados y seguros, y siempre estoy atenta a las señales de estrés o incomodidad de la mascota.
“Morgan was a great sitter and went above and beyond my expectations. She was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures too. She was respectful of my home and dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I myself was a kid, and I’ve cared for a multitude of dogs, kids, and houses. I began watching my cousins, my cousins dogs, their house, etc. and as time went on I eventually cared for my neighbors dogs and house(s), neighbors friend’s dogs, as well as people I’ve been recommended to. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for older dogs, as well as dogs with strict dietary restrictions and medications too :) I’m currently working part-time, as well as part-time online schooling, so most of my days can be spent with the pets! My shifts vary from 4 to 8 hours, however, I typically work 3-4 days a week. Anytime I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the most respect possible and ensure that I leave the house as tidy as it was when I arrived. As for children and pets, I’m very observational and empathetic, so I do whatever I can to keep everyone in my care as happy and healthy as possible. I generally try to know where the nearest animal hospital/veterinarian as well as emergency centers are for every area I’m in, because I also like to be overly cautious.
“Emma is awesome ! For a first time user on this app , she made everything easy and had great communication the entire time . Emma definitely went above and beyond in caring for my black lab Lucy in which we look forward to booking with her again soon !”
About: I have had pets my entire life and I absolutely love them! In the past, my teacher has asked me to take care of her pet bearded dragon during school breaks. I have also babysat and taken care of multiple puppies and cats at the same time. Most recently, whenever my roommate was gone for a long period of time or out of town, I would feed and walk her dog along with making sure he got a lot of love and play time too! I just recently graduated and have a pretty open schedule while looking for work. I am happy to help take care of your pets whenever it may fit with my current schedule! I currently am living in a house with one dog. I am always giving him much needed love and attention, playing with him, and taking him on walks. I cannot take care of other pets in my own home at this moment, but I am happy to give the same love and attention to your pets in the comfort of their own home. I am willing to follow any instructions or anything else you ask from me if I were to stay in your home!
About: I have volunteered at the Monterey County SPCA and completed 36 hours whilst at college. I learned how to properly care for animals and carried out various tasks such as cleaning, ensuring the animals are physically active, and answering questions from the public. I have been around numerous types of animals my time at the SPCA from dogs to bunnies. I have seen all ages of animals from ten years old to eighth month old puppies yet, I ensure every animal is given the upmost care. Pet care fits into my daily schedule because I have two senior dogs of my own. Care giving is not a new skill for me I have been caring for animals for about thirteen years. Pet care is something that I am very passionate about and that is a job I truly enjoy. Throughout my life I have always been surrounded by animals. I currently have two Chihuahuas. One being thirteen and the other around ten years old. My duties have always been to feed them, take them out as needed, and occasionally take them on walks. I love all types of animals and my ultimate goal is to ensure they are in a safe comfortable environment.
“Donna did such a great job the last time we went on vacation that we utilized her again for our two week vacation and felt confident that our kitties were being well taken care of! Will definitely use Donna again to care for our kitties!”
“We used this app for the first time and got so lucky to find Patti! She immediately made us feel at ease upon our first meeting and our dog loved her right away. She even was able to eventually pet our 12 year old cat who is a really big scaredy cat with new people. She was able to do exactly what we needed with our pets while we were away and we did not have to worry one bit. Loved all the pics and comments every day as well. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our fur babies! ??”
“We normally have family watch my cat and chinchilla but we were all going on a trip so had to get someone from the outside. Amanda was great with both the cat and chinchilla and provided updates and photos. Would book with Amanda again!”
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
About: Currently 8 months pregnant and I am a stay at home mom. In the process of moving so I don’t have a backyard until end of June but can’t wait to be able to offer that space for dogs in the future!! I love to help and can do a feeding and some light grooming if needed! My 4 year old is always with me so I can only host a dog that is good with children and not aggressive. I’m a stay at home mom so I can provide a lot of potty breaks and attention to your pets! I have a 4 year old daughter that loves cats and dogs and has lots of energy so adding an animal to our routine is very easy. I’m always very respectful of your place. I know the trust that must be involved to let someone into your home and I don’t want to ruin that trust!

About: I've taken care of numerous pets, over 50 years, but what sets me apart is the variety. My kids were aloud to have a variety of pets, so I was obviously involved. Later, after raising kids, I had a horse caretaking business for a few years. Since working for Rover, I've decided dogs are my favorite companion, and cats are a close second. Currently I have a very affectionate cat that cant handle long periods without me here. I used to think cats were independent! I am enjoying retirement and not working at any other job. I am at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule centered around the needs of your pet. I want your pet to feel safe and cared for when with me. This is bonding, and takes time and contact in an unhurried way.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Citrus Heights is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Citrus Heights
Mary took wonderful care of our dog, Addy, over a long weekend. She was incredibly thorough during our initial meeting, making sure she understood Addy's routine and needs. Throughout our trip, she provided thoughtful updates after each visit, giving us complete peace of mind. She even took the time to brush Addy, going above and beyond. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!
The dogs were at first meeting defensive which is natural. Within minutes they relaxed and were comfortable with Tylyn. Nice pictures were taken everyday, the yard was cleaned up and she did a little extra watering. I was very comfortable with her dropping in for a total of nine days.
STOP SCROLLING! We’ve had numerous sitters for our three (somewhat challenging/unique) dogs over the past decade+, and Annie (Nancy) is easily the best. Beyond being responsive to outreach and thorough with updates, she is unbelievably kind and well-suited for caring for others’ pets. Our dogs adore her, and she is the first sitter with whom I have felt 100% comfortable regarding one of our dog’s special history/needs. Annie is a good listener and a responsible steward—the type of sitter to charge an exceedingly reasonable amount and then show up for extra long visits with her own treats for the pups in hand. She clearly has a true love of animals, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Do your pets (and your peace of mind) a favor and book Annie!
Amanda was wonderful with our kitties as usual. Both warmed up to her without any issues (even our very wary cat). Amanda went out of her way to ensure cleanliness and safety, while sending us great photos and videos of our little ones while we were overseas, which we found very comforting. We came back home to very happy kitties and will certainly have Amanda again as our cat sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Citrus Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Citrus Heights. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
